2024-2025 Blues Trade Proposals Thread.

[bleedblue1223]

Yeah but allegedly (Hearsay) the Blues scouted Nash/NYR and Nash/NYI in the past week as well.
On a side note it would be ironic if the Blues traded for Luke Schenn. Doubt he would cost anything more then a 3rd.
Maybe looking at adding a guy like Reilly Smith or Palmieri for a push to make the playoffs?

Maybe looking at a player like Dobson for a possible off season deal?

We have 3 upcoming games against the Preds. That's the issue with reporting scouts, it's not always trade related.

No way, its not Kostin and Wallman........LOL

Novak and Sisson would be the Preds we are most likely checking out. More likely Novak I’d think.

Another C off the market in Jake Evans. Re-signed in Montreal for 4 years.

Reading some trade boards around the league and the best thing that stood out was Edmonton fans pining over Binnington the way Leafs fans used to for Parayko.

I'm not sure I pull the trigger on Binnington though, especially to Edmonton. They really don't have anything that excites me, return wise. Goalies historically don't garnish a heavy return anyways.

As much as I would like see the Blues make the playoffs. This isn't a team that is going to make it far into the playoffs. Next year, if we bring everyone back, the core gets another year older. So the question becomes do we go for the playoffs this year, shuffle the deck and inject some youth next year and keep pushing. Or do we try to sell and add more chips to the youth movement? I know what I would do but who the hell knows what Army is thinking.

Renting Boesser pro and con list

Like pure naked rental.

Pros:

Our defense is absolutely stacked. A team could go years before it is as fortunate as we currently are.

Our first is probably more valuable than any of the other bidders picks meaning we probably have a fast lane to securing the deal.

Our only true hole in the roster is top 6 scoring from the right side so let’s fill it. Snuggerud will have icetime too. Probably unwise to be like hey college guy good luck with these 17 minutes per game of icetime btw playoff hockey is rough good luck break a leg.

This draft is “weak” and we’re too good to get a bad draft pick so f it.

We could perhaps retain assets if Vancouver would take Texier. Texier plus first for Boesser and a third?

We could attempt to flip Boesser after the postseason for a late round pick. We also could attempt to sign him.

I think giving the team a preview of a full top 6 would give the front office the understanding of its potential.

I understand why we shouldn’t do this. I’d vote yes. It’s kinda degen but also you can either take shots or not.

Cons:

People don’t want to have fun.

It’s “irresponsible”

Other lame reasons I don’t care about

Dude, I was totally thinking Boeser and was gonna post it, but my flame suppression system has been acting up lately. The other term for it got the ol’ PS censor.

Do you think Boeser makes us contender?

I understand the appeal but trading for Boeser would be textbook bad asset management. We aren't even in playoff spot at this point. Even if we do make the playoffs Boeser isn't the piece to put us over the top. I disagree with your assessment of our defense and I disagree with assessment about our biggest hole. We badly need a middle six center much more than a winger. I love Sunny but he isn't 3rd line material anymore. I just am not prepared to give up a mid round 1st pick, even in a weak draft, for a few months of Boeser. Blues have done a good job drafting in the middle and later parts of the 1st round over the years and that is a player that we have a decade of control.

Our tank is saved, guys.
Logan Brown is on waivers.
Come on Army, you know you can't resist.

Agree fully.

I think in real life I’d not actually do it. It’s easy to be an impulsive keyboard warrior.












Tuch would be what I’d do.

The only way Boeser or any other rental works is if it's in some super complicated and unrealistic combo of deals where we trade someone like Kyrou for Dobson, and Boeser comes with an extension. I just don't see that happening. And while we are close to the playoffs, we also currently sit with the #10 pick. Yes, we could put lotto or top 10 protection on it, but I'd be surprised if we trade our 1st. Exceptions would be for a young NHL player that has years of control.

 

[sfvega]

We have a scout at SJ/TOR game, we don't play either the rest of the season.

Army and Steen know that Ryan Reaves is just what this team needs to turn it all around.
